No, it is a critique of children. In the same way that your ridiculous generalizations about smokers "killing you" is a critique of all smokers.

but the fact is that smoking will kill you.

Actually, life will kill you. What I think you mean is that smoking might shorten your life. Considering the years that will be lost (senile, impotent, lame) I don't think it's a bad trade off at all. And again, it's my choice to end my life early.
And enough with the second hand smoke nonsense. Sitting next to a smoker will not kill you, let alone give you a terminal disease! You need to be exposed to smoke long term and in large quantities for it to affect you, and even then its iffy.

Maybe the bar employees have a case, but if they don't want to work in a hazardous environment then maybe they should leave the bar and apply for a job at that nice coffee shop down the street. Why won't they? Because the coffee shop is for lamers who don't tip. Bar patrons are drunk happy people who tip well. It's a simple economics game. Do you want to outlaw all hazardous activities? Why not focus on outlawing war and religion, the biggest contributors to human death and misery of all time.
What non-smokers are really objecting to is the fact that smokers are enjoying themselves in a way the non-smokers can't participate in. They get jealous and angry and act out. Just accept that you aren't nearly as cool as smokers and be done with it.
